LtCol. Young was in the gymnasium when the call from the CO came through. He didn't even bother hitting the sonic shower.

-15 minutes later- With the briefing completed the XO walked out to the bridge and handed his PADD to the navigator."Plot the course to this location and engage at maximum sustainable warp as soon as we are ready. Lets get there as fast as possible."

All the senior staff were at their posts when the Connie dropped from warp. A far as anyone could tell the area of space around them was empty. "Give me a full sensor sweep of the surrounding area. I want any signs of warp trails or freighter traffic found and courses extrapolated. I'll be in my ready room when it's ready." With that the Colonel rose from his centerseat and nodded his head for his exec to follow him. "Mr. Brown, you have her." And with that the two Marines entered the Colonel's office.
